I guess you’ve noticed that I’ve been going through my photo archives lately. I don’t know, maybe you haven’t. Or maybe you’ve just stumbled upon this blog and we’ve never even met. In that case, hi. My name is Kate. Some people call me Country Girl.

I’ve been in sort of a photography rut lately, but I plan on snapping out of it soon. Good news, though -- the knee is doing well! It’s a lovely shade of aubergine but it’s healing nicely. And my beloved macro lens is on its way to Nikon to see if it can be fixed. I’m really hoping for a happy ending to that story.

In the meantime, I opened my photo files and went back to August of 2008 tonight -- back to a day spent in New York City with my husband’s parents and my younger son, Shaun. We went to visit my older son, Matt, who was living on John Street at the time.

Maybe you know where I took this shot. If you don’t, that’s a huge hint with the link.

I shot this out of a moving car window. I was in the front, navigating for dad. I like reading maps. And taking pictures at the same time.

We ate lunch in my son’s old neighborhood, on Stone Street. The street is blocked off and there’s a row of restaurants down either side with picnic tables in the street. We had pizza at Adrienne’s Pizza Bar.

I’ve posted this photo before. They’re the steps we took to get to the rooftop view at my son’s apartment. We took the elevator all the way and only had to walk up the one flight. Can you imagine walking up all these stairs every day?

And now, because it’s Friday and because I’m gearing up for a day full of housekeeping chores tomorrow, and because I am just plain inquisitive, here’s some nosey questions I found over at Donna Boucher’s Quiet Life. She’s Miz Booshay, for those of you who read Pioneer Woman’s photography site.

I managed to fix it, but he decided to undo my work shortly after that. A repair the second time around was just impossible. So, we just keep the couches covered. Oh yes, he also has a habit of lounging on the back of the couch by the bay window when we leave--yet another reason to just keep the couches covered in slipcovers. They really do hide a world of sin.
